Phuket hotels need more than 6,500 staff

Phuket’s service industries – hotels in particular – have many job openings available, the head of Phuket Provincial Employment Service Office (PESO), Boonchock Maneechot, has revealed.



K. Boonchock concluded, “After the tsunami, many hotel employees found new jobs [in different sectors]. However, there is room once again for more hotel and tourism staff in the upcoming high season.”

At the fair, 35 businesses also set up indoor booths for potential entrepreneurs, with booths providing training in arts and crafts such as soap carving, batik production and Thai cuisine.
